Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi
[ranking: 1]
The so-called First Ladies of Lesbianism, it??s hard to think "lesbian power couple" without Ellen and Portia springing to mind. Probably the most visible and accepted couple in the public eye, Ellen and Portia show that it is possible to be successful, popular, AND gay.

Page and Portner were married less than a year later on January 3, 2018, and the couple has collaborated on videos together, with Portner dancing and Page strumming her guitar. They say they are happiest when they are creating together.

Claude Cahun & Marcel Moore
[ranking: 13]
We're taking a trip back in time for this power couple. Claude and Marcel were together for more than 40 years from the early 1920s onwards and were pretty steadfast feminists and artists throughout that time. Claude??s photography explored concepts of sexuality and gender, including androgynous and butch identities, which was revolutionary for the time.
During the Second World War, they became anti-Nazi activists, and would dress in disguise to go to German military events and secretly distribute anti-Nazi flyers. Sadly, they were caught and arrested in 1944, and thought they were released, Claude died 10 years later. They were buried together in Jersey, United Kingdom and their legacy still lives on.
